realized why all this time i've been so vividly disturbed by rufus' relationship with dimitri and why i've spent four years wondering why i can't place what the reason is
only for hopes to make that vividness reach maximum capacity like no i definitely expected everything they're saying rufus did to dimitri but why did i see all of it coming like why is this literally everything i feel like i already knew
only to realize today that it's bc this whole time i associated rufus to cedric
evil blond uncle tries to murder soft hearted and kind blond prince
i realize this whole time my mind was just looking at rufus and cedric interchangeably like -points- it's the same person
but i also realize even in my mind it's just bc i never let richard tales of graces i love you go and so rufus was on my red alert list from the moment dimitri declared he didn't get along with him
unfortunately for cedric he passed the threshold of a quick death bc dimitri was still sane when he killed rufus in hopes and wasn't the one who did in houses
sucks for him i guess (it's not that i don't have sympathy, it's that i blatantly appreciated and enjoyed it and that's what u get for attempted murder on richard, i mean.)

Wait, Ravus had the eyes of Etro?
Yes !!! Or well, a variation of it? Maybe?
In the original Versus trailers, Ravus was depicted with a hood, which has been said to either: 
Block his visions because they were too strong for him to handle
Shield him from witnessing the Souls of the dead
Nothing, it’s just a fancy accessory
Personally? I honestly don’t know. Ravus is said to have powers like Noctis during the Versus era, albeit his was more using bolts of light rather than an arsenal. So if Noctis was able to see the light of expiring souls, I’m assuming Ravus was able to as well. 
Interestingly enough, sorry, I’m gonna go on a tangent here, in the Comrades Boss Battle, Ravus does have a move that is light based, although it’s white and not blue. It’s where he casts his arms out to the side and suddenly you get hit with MEGA DAMAGE. I’ve only been able to activate it once though, and it’s very quick. Similarly, his lightning could also be considered as an adaption from that one move, as he treats it in rather the same way. (see where he creates a field of it on the ground and shoots a long bolt of it). So in a sense, Ravus’ Versus abilities are still in play.
Unrelated as I do know that his purple eye is his Magitek eye, but Serah’s eye when she receives her visions is actually a very similar color? That or my eyesight is tricking purple for blue oof

It might be a little blurry because I had to crop. But it’s pretty much a very similar color! And according to a strangely valid sounding leak, Ravus has gone through the least amount of changes. 
Tumblr media
This is with the lighting a little bit brighter? It kept on discoloring him and making lighter patches whiter and darker patches darker, but for the most part, it’s a very similar color!
It’s pretty curious, considering Ravus is often able to see things he shouldn’t. That one scene in chapter three where Ravus seems shocked and repulsed by the Emperor, and he does that little recoil where his eyes widen? Well, in Chapter 13.v.2 Ravus proceeds to call him a “Puppet of the Darkness” , if Ravus had an inkling of what was happening before hand, it would explain why he looked like that when Iedolas said “My Crystal.”
Ravus also saw through Ardyn’s Gladio disguise somehow, a feat that no one else was shown to do, not even the Kings of Lucis. Here’s looking at you my boys, Noct and Reggie although with Ardyn-Noctis, he was unable to do so, perhaps because of his injuries, but it’s a little thing that never was revealed as to why Ravus knew.
So yee! That was hella off topic, but it’s a curious thing to consider if Ravus does retain his Versus abilities, just to a lesser extent. 
ALSO, if my “Luna ascends to a Goddess Theory” is a reality, is it possible that Luna becomes the XV version of Etro, so Ravus having the “Eyes Of Etro” would be as some sort of tie-in to her. Like making him Luna’s seer/guardian/messenger etc??? LISTEN, THERE’S POTENTIAL HERE SQUARE-
